IJM works by mobilizing lawyers, investigators, social workers, community activists, and other professionals throughout 20 communities and partner offices around the world.

MY JOB: IJM UK

STUDENT & VOLUNTEER RELATIONS ASSISTANT

As the Student and Volunteer Relations Intern at IJM UK, I will have an invaluable experience of working for one of the most well respected and effective human rights organizations in the world.

Throughout my internship I will help provide support to university students throughout in England, as they host Stand for Freedom events. Additionally, I will aid in contacting and organizing volunteers during events and fundraisers. Enabling others to make a difference in the world is something I am deeply passionate about, and I could not be more excited to have this chance to serve IJM in this capacity.

I believe that this position will further equip me in the areas of NGO management, human rights advocacy, and ministry, which are three areas that I hope to eventually work in.
